Thanks

Plenum spacer and an exhaust. I know the spacer is easy, but I would rather have someone else do it.

If you and MrX arrange something soon, I will probably want to get in on that...
Still have to install my spacer, and I have a UR pulley and possibly some HFCs on the way.

[Lack of a garage + terrible weather]

I been down with step through this week but hopefully I will fell better this weekend. I have SHIFT PIONY in line for a spring install. That one I have to do at another loacation because I have access to a lift. The spacer and exhaust I can do in my garage and it shouldn't take to long. Installing a spacer is easy. So if you want both of you can come over and hang out, bring me some food and watch me work. I live right in front of the beach so if you want to go watch something walking in the beach you are welcome too. Saturday morning I have it reserved for SHIFT PIONY if I feel better.

Feel comfortable doing a crank pulley and belt swap? My spacer I can definitely handle myself if the weather stays decent, but I don't have the knowledge or tools to do the UR pulley.

I haven't done a crank pulley, but it can't be hard. What I would like to know is, what (if any) special tools are needed. I know I can do it though. It just might require taking your car to auto hobby shop for a lift or other tools I might not have. I don't own a 350z any more so I can't go out and take a look.

EDIT= hold on, I keep forgetting that I have the manufacture work shop manual. Let me see what it says to do.

according to the manual there is nothing special about it. Just when you put it back on is when there is a small painting requirement.

I received a little install guide with it as well, and the only specific tool mentioned is a 3/4" impact gun for the crankshaft pulley bolt.

The Plenum Spacer is cake work. What kind of exhaust do you have??? I did mine on a lift in less than
2 hours. If Mr_X can't help you, I might be able to.

I installed my UR Pulleys, so I know a thing or two.

First off do you have just the Crank pulley or the whole set???
Tools needed for crank pulley removal:
  • Pulley puller
  • Cheater bar (About 2 feet long)
  • Torque Wrench
  • Breaker Bar
  • Socket Set
  • Impact Gun (Maybe)

Also a lift would be very nice

Just the crank. I have a socket set and jackstands, that's about all I can contribute as far as tools.

Pretty sure I'm free, at least until mid afternoon [4-ish]. PM your address
and let me know if you're still aiming for around 12?
